It's strange to step on the scale and the pounds are just falling off 4-5 lbs. a day. But I guess with eating only about 500 calories a day that will do it.

Still feeling weak though...I thnk my two days of trotzkies did me in. I don't think I can go back to work on Tuesday.

Anyone else ready to get back to work yet?

Lost 10 lbs. in the week before surgery on liquid diet and have lost 11 lbs. this week. Total of 21 lbs. Yippee!!!

Just put on some jeans that hardly coveerd my butt before and the waist pulls all the way up in the back!!!

Went through a box of clothes last night...Found pants the next 3 sizes down from what I wear now. At least that will help get me through without buying a lot. I have a lot of stretchy tops that will work for a while...instead of being stretched out they should start fitting well.

I didn't go on the scale today but yesterday I was 7 down from surgery total of 14 from liquid diet.< /p>

I have 1 large incision from where my lap-band, port and stomach. It's about 5 inches long. I am having horrible pain from it. The other 4 I can't even feel. The pain at times makes me scream! Not fun.

From what I hear you lost mostly Water on the first week of the liquid diet, so the pounds lost the second week are fat coming off. Goodby and good riddance!!! Anyone remember the old routine..."Go You Chickenfat Go." OMG my high school gym teacher used to play that record and we exercised to it. No idea why I just remembered that!!

dim59 I can imagine that hurts. I had a 12" long incision down my abdomen when I had gall bladder and hernia surgery a few years ago. That takes a while to heal.

I've gone from 350 to 329. It will be nice to see that first number be a "2" soon!!!

Wow!!! Those are some great numbers you guys are pulling!!! I've lost 5 since surgery and 7 the week before... I will be happy with that!!! Has anyone started walking or anything for exercise?? I wanted to today, but this morning I had an episode of weakness and felt kind of faint. It passed, but I took it as a sign to not push it today.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
